"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntracing: Check return value of __register_event() in trace_module_add_events()\n\ntrace_module_add_events() ignores the return value of __register_event()\nand unconditionally calls __add_event_to_tracers() for each event.\n\nIf __register_event() fails (for example, if event_init() fails), the\ntrace_event_call is not added to ftrace_events list, but\n__add_event_to_tracers() still creates a trace_event_file pointing to it.\nIf module loading subsequently fails and module memory is freed, tracing\nstate retains a stale trace_event_call pointer in trace_event_file,\nleading to a use-after-free when tracefs or tracing subsystem operations\nare later executed.\n\nFix this by checking the return value of __register_event() and only\ncalling __add_event_to_tracers() if event registration succeeded."

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only via local init_module/finit_module module loading (MODULE_STATE_COMING notifier) and subsequent tracefs/tracing operations on poisoned event files; there is no network, adjacent-wireless, or physical-device input path into trace_module_add_events() or the stale trace_event_file dereferences.\nAC:L - An attacker can deterministically craft a module whose trace events fail event_init()/__register_event() while __add_event_to_tracers() still runs, then force module-load failure or rmmod to free module memory; no uncontrollable race, rare kernel config, or victim-specific memory layout is required.\nPR:L - Triggering the UAF requires only local tracefs/tracing access, which tracing_check_open() gates solely with LOCKDOWN_TRACEFS and DAC (no capable() check), commonly granted to tracing-group/Android/ChromeOS diagnostics users; priming stale pointers via init_module uses capable(CAP_SYS_MODULE) but is achievable on permissive dev/container hosts loading attacker modules.\nUI:N - Once tracefs is accessible, the attacker can read/write event enable/format files or invoke tracing helpers that iterate tr->events and dereference the stale trace_event_call without any separate victim user performing mounts, clicks, or configuration changes.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel tracing heap/metadata within the same OS security authority and enables local privilege escalation; it does not cross VM, container, IOMMU, or hardware trust boundaries.\nC:H - Stale trace_event_file->event_call pointers reference freed module slab memory; subsequent trace_event_name(), call->class, and reg/unreg callbacks read attacker-influenced reclaimed heap contents, giving an arbitrary kernel memory read primitive typical of UAF bugs.\nI:H - Operations such as __ftrace_event_enable_disable() invoke call->class->reg() through the dangling trace_event_call and manipulate event flags/filters on reclaimed objects, providing controllable kernel writes and a standard UAF path to code execution.\nA:H - Dereferencing freed module-resident trace_event_call structures from tracefs or tracing subsystem operations readily causes kernel oops/panic; even without full exploitation, the UAF reliably threatens system availability and can be retriggered at will."
